My videos suddenly stopped playing?!?

My site was working fine. Then suddenly about half the movies on my site stopped playing. They were working fine.

I talked to godaddy who hosts the site (which I built with iweb)..they said the videos need to be optimized. but they were.

They are quicktimes optimized for the web. I am using the iphone .mv4 .

I deleted all teh files on godaddy and republished the entire site...adn that didn't help.

So I start recompressing ALL the broken videos. The first one works. Fine. But hte second one has been recompressed five times...and still doesn't work. I use quicktime, final cut pro, ipod, iphone compression, .mov, mv4...try different setting... nothing!

I just checked the site and the videos seemed to be working...Some of the pages are slow to load because it is trying to runmultiple videos at one time (not really good design for anyonewith a slow connection, which is what I am currently using).

Can you be a bit more specific about what is not working.(I checked using Firefox and Safari on a PC. I will check laterat home on my Mac.)

For example. There is a video on the homepage that now plays fine. If you click full screen below that video you will go to a separate page. Here is the EXACT SAME VIDEO. I put the exact same video in iweb on this page...but it won't play on this page. NOw what could that be?

If you go to Commercials page...and hit Xavier and Michael picture.. you got to a page with aht video.. i put two different versions of the video here. Neither will play. What could this be?

I'm having the same problem. After years of working perfectly, my Quicktime videos suddenly stopped playing on Firefox. You can hear the audio but the video doesn't display. They still play just fine when I use Safari. The site is designed using iweb, here's the link:
